Pickpick

Aggravating book but still worth reading. Packed w/research on the policy, market, and business motives that warped our agricultural system. The author is a farmer who is fighting unimaginable, deeply-fixed mechanisms that too many of us are ignorant and dismissive of because we were taught to scorn farming culture in favor of business and knowledge work. Farmers are frustrated and desperate for action at policy level, and they need our help.

1/2

CampbellTaraL Fail: author paints scientists in negative stereotypes while advocating for progressives to stop doing the exact same thing to farmers.

Success: depth of research on the disasterous state of our food system, and the purposeful destruction of peoples' connection with the land and the autonomy to make a purposeful living outside the relentless growth model of capitalism. 2/2

Clare-Dragonfly I was just thinking earlier today about what nonsense it is that farmers aren‘t the highest-paid people in our economy. 1y
CampbellTaraL @Clare-Dragonfly Agree 100%. 1y

I am so excited for the #readathon this weekend! I just went to the store for all my snacks. And I bought way too much and way too bad 😳 I should not have gone hungry. I won‘t be able to eat half of this 🤣 Who else is doing Readathon?

tjwill Looks good! I need to go snack shopping too! 4y
readingjedi I have major snack envy 😳 4y
VioletBramble I miss Lays Dill Pickle chips. They don‘t sell them here and I haven‘t been below the Mason-Dixon Line in years. I‘ve only seen them in the south. 4y

1) Italian and Creole
2) Is too small a theme?
3) Potato peeler
4) Signed copies of the entire St. Mary's Chronicles series
5) Depends on the day. I'm more of a baker than a cook though.
6) More King Arthur Flour Dutch Process Cocoa since I just made a huge cake with it. And a personal chef if money's no object.

This one was hard! 5 least favourite foods, as requested by @julesG It was hard to come up with 5, so I included one beverage. 😐Steak 😐Pancakes 😐Cantaloupe 😐Neapolitan Ice Cream 😐Milk 😷

julesG Neapolitan ice cream? Is that the one pictured? 7y
Clwojick @julesG yes, it's strawberry, vanilla and chocolate combined 😦 7y
AndreaReads Yes! Neapolitan is the worst! You can't even eat just the chocolate because it still tastes like the other two flavors. 7y
julesG @AndreaReads - Interesting! It's called "Fürst Pückler" ice cream in Germany. And I do hate it, too. 7y
AndreaReads @julesG I like that name even better! 7y
